The Hohoe Police have mounted a search for one Godwin Atsu, 45, a farmer of Akpafu Adokor, in the Hohoe municipality on allegations of murder.
The suspect is being hunted for allegedly murdering his cousin, Michael Atsu, 49, also a farmer at Akpafu Todzi.
According to the police, Michael had a strong hatred for Godwin because he was the caretaker of farms of Godwin's brothers living at Tarkwa in the Western Region. And for a long time, the two of them had been at loggerheads.
On June 5, 2008, when the two of them met on a cocoa farm given to them by their head of family, Mr Seth Atsu, a quarrel broke out leading to a brutal fight.
The police said Michael first slashed the wrist of Godwin almost severing it, and he in retaliation slashed Michael on the head and additionally severed his wrist.
Godwin then rushed home and narrated what had transpired to his sister and when the deceased did not return home, a search party was mounted the following day leading to the discovery of his body in the bush.
